This will, of course, 1. make them seem sweeter because there will be less kick, 2. might not do jack poo poo if cooked onions also give you heartburn, and 3. might not do anything at all anyway because there's no guarantee this advice does anything but rinse off the same irritant that makes your eyes water. But it did work for our stomach problem-haver!
I basically only ever eat onion cooked and also why would I want to remove the taste from an onion, but if it's good advice for someone then that's neat. I'm not at the stage where I need to care about it, most of my heartburn or similar issues comes from stupid rear end ibuprofen giving me an ulcer over time that acts up whenever I have to use it for more than two days in a row. Luckily that too is mild.

e: The real life hack is to never get headaches or other random aches that necessitate the use of ibuprofen because goddamn that's one effective cure and goddamn does it ever make your GI tract hate you over time even if you try to be sparing with it.

So basically I thought maybe I could turn it into a quick sort of tomato soup, like maybe if I added stuff to it, but it's actually really gross and tastes like hot tomato candy, and made my kitchen smell like McDonalds

An old poor person trick was to get ketchup packets and those mini half and half tubs and make cream of tomato soup. Kinda.

You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.
When we were roommates, a good friend of mine made pasta with elbow noodles and ketchup. It was not desperation or resourcefulness, nor was he drunk at 2 AM. Ketchup was what he understood to be pasta sauce.

I resisted the urge toward murder-suicide and instead taught him how to cook.

My first roommate literally did not know how to boil water.

I knew him for years and his mom did a lot of cooking, he just never absorbed any skills.

Oh I can top that. During college I’d regularly make “soup burritos” that would be my sole substance for multiple days at a time. You’d make a big batch of rice in a rice cooker and when it finished you’d dump a can of soup or two in there and stir it up to be a mostly solid mass of whatever you added flavored rice. Toss that into some large tortillas and boom, a “meal”.

Clam chowder was a personal favorite. It’s a wonder the sodium and carbs didn’t kill me.

Once I read an account from someone who'd just put on a pot of potatoes to boil, and he knew he'd be doing the cooking in that household when his new roommate peered into the densely layered pot and asked with concern "but how big are they going to get after cooking".

On the other hand the first time I cooked chickpeas I thought they'd get softer but stay roughly the same size, like lentils and beans.

I ate a lot of chickpeas that week.

My mother in law did all the cooking when my wife and her siblings were younger, however there is a large gap between her and her siblings so she would hang around the kitchen and took in a lot. Her siblings all have “teenager level understanding” of food and this eat out a lot or have very basic meals. Mostly French fries.

I'm really glad my mother got me involved with the cooking from a very young age and had me actually cooking dinner by the time I was 10. I'm still not a great cook, but it was enough to make me 90th percentile among people I personally know.

One of my friends was visiting and attempted to help out with food prep by cutting a potato while they were holding it in their hand instead of setting it down on the cutting board. Fingat, etc.

Cutting up potatoes while you're holding them* is perfectly normal and how millions and millions of people have done it for thousandsa few hundred years. Straight into the soup is just quicker and less mess.

Of course you have to know what the gently caress you're doing.

e: You peel it in your hand, you should be able to cut it up in your hand. It's the same CYERAMIC NOIVE, unless it isn't. (Nowadays it mostly isn't because a peeling knife is just better for peeling in every way.)

That's how I cut most vegetables for salads. Never cut myself doing that. I only cut myself when lining baking sheets with foil or doing the washing-up, somehow.

And yes, my grandma taught me that, lol.

I think your beans and lentils are broken if they are staying the same size while cooking.

This one was pretty accurate except for two things that are technically true as stated but are hidden time additions.

1) This recipe calls for "cooked brats". Well I'm not gonna buy precooked brats, so unless this is a leftovers user there's time there.

2) Chicken stock. Sure, you can use premade, but if your a soup making aficionado you're gonna make your own.

I don't remember learning to cook, but my mother must have done the same thing with me, because I do know how. I made spaghetti for my grandma once when I was in middle school or so and hosed it up horribly, but she was encouraging about it. I didn't gently caress up spaghetti again.

I ate a lot of pasta in college more because I was lazy than anything else. Once I had my own kitchen, I bugged relatives for recipes and asked for cookbooks for Christmas and started cooking like a normal person pretty quickly. Or at least what I thought was normal? Maybe I'm also in the 90th percentile and never knew it....

When our oldest daughter moved into her own place back in 2019 we wrote out a bunch of our family recipes and tips in a book for her. That’s a great memory for me.

Visiting with surviving elderly family members and asking them to show their old recipe cards and hearing them reminisce about things is one of the greatest things assuming those people aren't shitheads for other reasons.
